3.0

While a fun and quick read, the first hundred pages felt oddly repetitive. I noticed that two sections were almost identical, as the protagonist told his theory to multiple people, only 10 pages apart. There were other times where it seemed like the editor missed stuff, like using "she" instead of "her" or the protagonist knowing that a person they just heard called Freddy was actually Friedrich, without having met them. It was just odd, and would detract from the immersion. The story itself was interesting, just probably needed a little more work done.
